What Is JAS-ANZ
Joint Accreditation System of Australia and New Zealand (JAS-ANZ) help markets work better by providing an internationally recognized accreditation that create economic benefits.
Accreditation is a symbol of assurance – a valuable asset in itself. The JAS-ANZ symbol is a sign of quality and reliability. This indicates that the certifier or inspector can be relied on to determine impartially whether the organization, products and people meet the specified requirements. This gives certifications, supervisors and their client organizations a competitive advantage.
Accreditation has many benefits flowing across the market chain for businesses, regulators and governments by :
- Reduces compliance and transaction costs
- Reducing risk
- Downsizing operations
- Breaking down trade barriers that provide greater access to foreign markets
- Provide assurance that the goods and services sold are safe and can be used for the intended purpose
At JAS-ANZ, we do not certify or inspect organizations, products or people, instead, we accredit the bodies that do. We do this by developing grading criteria that evaluators and reviewers must meet to become accredited under these themes :
- Business and innovation
- Health and human services
- Product certification
- Food systems and biology
- Living environment
